Scientists are investigating Lake Vida, a 3-mile-long saltwater lake in Antarctica topped with ice that’s been frozen for 2,800 years. They’re especially interested in the microbes in the lake, which are in liquid water under 62 feet of ice, and could be a type of bacteria completely unknown in our modern world. The water where they live has remained liquid because it is seven times saltier than seawater and doesn’t freeze at Antarctic temperatures.

A new study shows that physical characteristics such as skin or hair color don’t necessarily reveal a person’s race. People who appear white may genetically be mainly African, while people who look black may genetically be European or Amerindian.

“There is wide agreement among anthropologists and human geneticists that, from a biological standpoint, human races do not exist,” says researcher Sergio Pena. “Yet races do exist as social constructs.”

Much of the research was done in Brazil, where the population comes from three separate ethnic groups: the original Amerindians, Europeans, and Africans. These groups have inter-married and inter-bred, yet some Brazilians are regarded as white, others as black.

This week we ask you an especially intriguing question about why the visitors don?t come out in the open. Is it because they are evil, afraid or opposed by the government? Or do they think we’re not advanced enough for contact? Are they imaginary?or is there a quantum reason for their hesitation? We want to hear what you think, so be sure to vote.

Last week, when we asked you what you think the implants are, 74% said they are “placed in people by aliens.” 15% of you think they’re put in people by the government. The rest of the votes were low: 5% think they’re something natural, 3% that they’re a fantasy and 3% that they’re a hoax.
